Forecasts

Monsieur Beaulieu (11/4), Batal Dubai (7/2), Revolutionise (11/2), Justcallmepete (6/1), Thapa VC (13/2), Vibrato (13/2), Extrication (8/1), Zandita (20/1), Desert Doctor (22/1), Mojomaker (28/1), Port Road (40/1), Dion Baker (80/1)

This is wide open but MONSIEUR BEAULIEU rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his very good recent Southwell second so edges the vote. Batal Dubai made a promising start for his new yard when fourth at Chelmsford City and heads the list of dangers, although the likes of Extrication, Thapa VC, Revolutionise and Zandita all need factoring in too.
